Some secrets don't stay buried. Especially when the girl who held them disappears.
When eighteen years old Kailany Maddox vanishes after a bonfire in the coastal town of Ashton Shores, the community is quick to label it a runaway. But when cryptic journal entries, fractured friendships, and whispers of a long-buried tragedy begin to surface, it becomes clear. Kailany wasn't running. She was hunted.
Detective Cassidy Keene, still recovering from a case that nearly destroyed her, is brought in to cut through the silence the locals refuse to break. As she pieces together Kailany's final days, Cassidy is forced to confront demons of her own. Each truth uncovered pulls Cassidy deeper into a web of obsession, betrayal, and grief. And the closer she gets to justice, the more she realizes: This town remembers everything. It just chooses what to forget.

Are you mine?
We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Two Gangs and a Golden Girl
"I didn't ask to be in the middle of your ego-battle," I grumble. Blake pins me to my locker, hands resting on either side of my head. "Well, you got it in anyway, Darling," he whispers.

Well, that's just great. *** The West and East gang of Tygerwell have been at each other's throats since the dawn of time. And the two leaders of these gangs want to end the fight, once and for all. But fighting with fists is easy. Fighting with wit and charm, is a whole other ball game. Blake. West-side gang leader. Leather jacket and killer glare. Don't talk back. Owen. East-side gang leader. Fancy coat and toxic stare. Don't resist. And in comes Amber. Hair of gold and oceans in her eyes. Has too much sass for her own good and always, ALWAYS, manages to get into the middle of trouble. But these boys have no idea who they're really dealing with. And when Amber descovers she knows a little too much when it comes to guns and fighting, she has to question everything she thought she knew about herself. Three can play this game. *** "Let's settle this. You got rejected, I got rejected. It's only fair that the fate of the gangs be on who gets the girl first." "That sounds rather good, Rhodes.

The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover.

Declan
Small towns don't bury secrets - they burn them. When Kaia Bell's only safe haven-the old diner where she practically grew up-shuts down overnight, something inside her won't let it go. The people who raised her have vanished without a word, and the strangers taking over aren't just flipping a menu-they're hiding something. Especially him. Declan Cross is all cold eyes and locked doors, sent to Haven for reasons no one's talking about. Kaia wants answers. Declan wants her gone. But the deeper she digs, the more tangled she becomes in a web of lies, grief, and the kind of danger that doesn't knock before it comes for you. And the more they clash, the more they uncover-not just about the town, but about each other. Grief. Guilt. Desire. Some fires never die. Some truths were never meant to be found. *** His breath hit mine before his words did. "You always this reckless?" he asked, low. I didn't move. "You always this paranoid?" He stepped in, close enough that I could feel the heat of him-anger, control, and something else humming just underneath. "If I kissed you right now," he said, voice rough, "would you stop digging?" I didn't blink. "No," I whispered. "But you can try."Abgeschlossene Geschichte
